I'm sorry you missed out when I went to school for the first time,
And you weren't able to tell me that you were all mine.
I'm sorry you weren't there to take me to the mall,
And you weren't there to tell me I have to stand tall.
Sorry you weren't the one I saw when I came home each day
Or the one I'd run to when I had a bad day.
I'm sorry you didn't see all my accomplishments; you'd have been so proud, and couldn't be there to lift me up to the clouds.
Sorry you weren't there to tell me there's nothing to fear,
But then again you couldn't be here.
I'm sorry you weren't the one to teach me to ride a bike,
Or the one who took me out to learn to drive.
I'm sorry you weren't the one who carried me on his back.
Or the one who held me tight when strength is what I lacked.
I'm sorry you weren't the one to hold me when I cried
Or tell me I did great when I really tried.
Or there at night to read me my favorite book,
You will always be my father, but you have never really been "my" dad.
I'm sorry me as a daughter is what you never had.
I'm sorry you never got to know what a wonderful son-n-law you had.
and what a great granddaughter you held only once. And the three great grandchildren you never met.
I will always love you no matter all that.
Love your one and only daughter Tina Elizabeth Holland-Coles
